Adding aux for iPod or MP3 to any radio with cassette player

Hi all,

Adding an auxiliary input to your radio for your iPod or MP3 player.

How?

In short:

1. Determine the location of the tape players head connections to solder your Audio Cable onto. The Audio Cable will be used to hookup your auxiliary source.
2. Add a 1 K. Ohm resistor to each channel of the Audio Cable and solder these to the head unit leads.
3. Connect your iPod/MP3 player.
4. Insert Adaptor Cassette or dummy cassette.
5. Adjust the volume.
6. ENJOY!!
